Non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disorders, are major global health challenges. Increasing evidence highlights early-life nutrition and the gut microbiota as critical determinants of lifelong health. Malnutrition during this critical developmental window, whether undernutrition or overnutrition, is known to alter gut microbial community assembly and structure. However, how bacterial strains adapt to malnutrition and how these adaptations influence long-term host susceptibility to disease remain poorly understood.
